Description

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Wish” is a captivating, animated musical-comedy about the magical kingdom of Rosas, where Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force—a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe—the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico—to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen. Featuring the voices of Ariana DeBose as Asha, Chris Pine as Magnifico, and Alan Tudyk as Asha’s favorite goat, Valentino, the film is helmed by director Chris Buck (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) and Fawn Veerasunthorn (“Raya and the Last Dragon”), and produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) and Juan Pablo Reyes Lancaster Jones (“Encanto”). Jennifer Lee (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) executive produces, and Lee and Allison Moore (“Night Sky,” “Manhunt”) are writers on the project. Original songs are by singer/songwriter Julia Michaels and producer/songwriter/musician Benjamin Rice, with a score by composer Dave Metzger.

    The funniest this part is when the goat says my butt found it and I can’t believe they added the goat to talk like what🤣🤣
  • The movie is flawed, but not bad.

    I saw this movie twice. In theaters and on DVD at home. The animation is beautiful and the end credits was a tear jerker since it showed almost every Disney movie character in chronological order as celebration of the studio's 100th anniversary. Some of the songs decent, At All Coasts was moving, Knowing What We Know Now was upbeat and catchy, I think the best song in this movie was I'm A Star. I think the main reason why Disney lost $131 million to this movie is because the story and characters lacked development. For example, it was never made clear why King Magnifico would think Asha's 100 year old grandfather Sabino's humble and innocent wish was too dangerous. Sabino's wish is to inspire the next generation with his music and while Magnifico thought it was a great wish, he felt it was too vague which was very ironic and hypocritical of him. As for Asha, while I do understand her being upset about the king refusing to grant her grandfather's wish, she didn't have to be upset about Magnifico refusing to grant some of the other peoples' wishes. Like if those other wishes were dark and evil, the king would have had good reasons to say no but Asha said everybody in Rosas is good yet she doesn't know everybody in the kingdom. As for those who say things like "I'm never watching Disney movies again, because they went down hill forever" well, just because Disney has been making inferior movies in recent years that doesn't stop me from watching them! I still love Disney and I want to see if they can do better again in the future.

    This movie was……okay. Well more like bad. Disney made a rip off of Encanto It sucked. Disney is losing their touch they just are doing the same thing why not have a story about something new.🫤 I want more Disney. That was such a waste of time and money for nothing. Maybe write something about Greek mythology like the gods. I know that sounds like Hercules but do something with gods. Thank u for your time.

    I will agree with the other commentators: This was not Disney’s greatest movie. The songs were kinda forgettable, the storyline was a little hard to follow along (I’ve got some questions), and the animation was sloppy at some points. I think some of that was intentional, for things like the star and stuff, but if you look at movies like Frozen and Encanto, then this, this animation (specifically in the town, hands, hair, goat, and hands again) was not as impressive. But disagreeing with the commentators, I’m glad I got to watch this movie. It was pretty good. The goat was as hilarious as he was cute. My siblings and I cracked up in the theatre. Besides the remake of the Little mermaid, Disney’s movies haven’t been very good since Encanto. They had...ahem...more mature themes that not every adult agrees with and it’s not something that should be in a kids movie (turning red, light year, strange world, etc) I’m hoping this movie is a sign that says Disney’s done with that stuff. There were good jokes, an interesting (though hard to follow at times) plot. After around 20 minutes I was able to comprehend it all. And the message was good for the first time since 2021. The good inside each of us will defeat the evil. However speaking of evil, that was one thing that annoyed me: I don’t think Magnifico is a villain. *Spoilers* the only reason he wasn’t granting every wish was because he was just trying to protect the city he loved. It wasn’t like he was holding a grudge against anyone he didn’t like by not granting their wish. He was able too see that if he granted a wish, it could be the downfall of the city. I’ll admit, his choice of action wasn’t the greatest, but he was just trying to help. We didn’t get mad at Bruno when *spoiler for encanto* we found out he left the family to protect Mirabel. So why are we mad at Magnifico when he was trying to protect the city? And even when he was using that dark magic book thingy he was doing it to try to help the city. Remember, the queen warned him about not using it, and his response wasn’t, “I’m king. I’m powerful. I can do whatever I want.” Or, “Get away from me woman! I need to become the greatest king in the world and take control of everyone.” No! He said that he was only doing it so he could try to protect his city from the Star that threatened the peoples’ peace and city, because remember he didn’t know that that magic was just a teenager’s wish upon a Star. And after that the magic grabbed a hold of him and he couldn’t escape. But up until then I believe he was just trying to help his kingdom. So that always bugged me, along with this: if Asha’s grandfather is 100 years old, and gave his wish when he was 18, the king has to be older than 100. And I mean, he has white hair, but even with his magic he doesn’t seem to be the kind of person who would use it to keep himself young. And his queen definitely didn’t look 100. She had this long brown hair in a braid and was trying to help Asha save the kingdom from the dark magic. So how old are the king and queen?! But other than those two things plus the sloppy animation, I really did like this movie!! I recommend it to rent, maybe not buy, but i am glad I watched this!! Please ignore all of the snarky comments. There indeed are better Disney movies but that doesn’t mean we need to tear down this one. One more thing: who else thought that the introvert older girl who was quiet and was Asha’s best friend’s sister reminded them of Dolores from Encanto?! I just call her Dolores because of that.

    Boring, formulaic. Left it halfway through and have no interest in going back to finish it.
